[Goats Do Shave]

As all the teams at the bottom of Div II seem to be losing every game... Does that make Madden virtually safe?

They're definately favourites to stay up now. IMO 2 from the bottom 4 will go.

I'm not sure what the fixtures are like, but I know Ballyhegan have played 4 of the top 6 teams twice already.

Div III looks a real scrap. It'll be a disasster for a few of those teams to get relegated to the bottom division.

[charlie stubbs]

we still have the following left goats

Home: bhegan, tir na nog, whitecross, harps, Maghery, silverbridge
away: Maghery, whitecross, newtown

at home can see us beating ballyhegan, the bridge, pdown and possibly winning away to newtown as we have goodrecord there.  hard see where any other points coming from.  relegation may not be worst thing though aqs we have a very very young team

[Goats Do Shave]

Although it's tough getting beat most weeks, it's always better for the younger players to be 'blooded' against these better teams i feel.

The only thing about the teams you are targetting for points... those teams will aslo be targetting you for points! 

We're in the same boat!

granemore bt st michaels 13 - 10 , woeful game of football , poorly refeered but a wins a win . .

[corn02]

Cross 0-14 Dromintee 0-11

Fair enough, Cross probably had an extra gear if they needed, but condiering the amount we were missing that is a better than expected result. Some Dromintee players were very good tonight, fair play, I was expecting a bit of a bhammering the way Cross have been going.

[fitzroyalty]

Killeavy 4-11 Clan na Gael 6-11 

Great match. Clans travelled down with only about 18/19 of a panel, which makes the victory all the more sweeter. Killeavy dominated early on and at one stage led by 7. Must have been great for the neutrals, 10 goal thriller, Clans opening the goalfest after about ten mins. Killeavy however went straight up and scored one of their own to open up the gulf to 7 between the teams. Clans fought back and pegged it back to 3 points going into the break.

Second half was more or less all Clans, although at the beginning the teams traded goals, it could have went either way. Clans showed great determination however and ran the Killeavy full back line ragged. Once Clans got the 5th goal Killeavy heads dropped, and the blues finished strongly to win by 6. Great team performance.

N.B. Stefan Campbell, still a minor lorded something like 3-04/3-05 of the Clans' total. Armagh minor management should be begging him to join.

Any div 3 results?

Is that the fella who was threw off the panel due to disciplinary reasons?

[fitzroyalty]

Yeh same lad. To be fair, he is an exceptional talent, and should IMO be asked back to the panel.

[bennydorano]

Harps drew in Maghery 0-9 to 1-6.  We could have nicked it near the end but Maghery missed enough chances to win the second half, but were also beneficiaries of a dodgy penalty in the first half.  Entertaining game and Harps showed plenty of fight with a depleted squad (again), we travelled with 18 players and didn't see fit to use a sub which says it all really.  Vernon added much needed steel and quality at CHB, but still doesn't look 100% fit.  Considering Maghery came to Abbey Pk a while back and give us a 12pt hammering we are now showing a bit more cohesion approaching championiship time, which is good to see.

so cross have now won the league. who had dromintee missing corn? is it true that two players are going stateside?

clans picking up valuable points, 6 -11 is some scoring. killeavy defence has been very shakey this last while.

[brokencrossbar1]

It is silly really that a club can be so dominant that it has the league won before the middle of July and that is with half a team.  From what I can read of it too most of the games were won at a canter.  Can anyone tell me when was the last time, league or championship that a team in Armagh actually beat Cross?  Obviously they will not want to lose any games but with 5 left it is a great time for them to blend in more youngsters and give the Fra McNamee's as much game time as possible and keep the older legs fresher for the championship coming up.

Now with Armagh out when is the championship due to be started?  At least there wil be no issue of it running late like it has done in previous years.
